Harry Styles made waves during his latest stunt on tour. Following reactions to fan signs and ripping the crotch of his leather trousers, the Grammy Award-winning musician has gone viral yet again — this time, for a “shoey.”
As seen on Twitter, Styles was taped taking a drink of an alcoholic beverage out of his sneaker while onstage in Perth, Australia during his “Love On Tour” world tour. The tradition, called a “shoey,” became popularized after Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo performed a similar move at the 2016 German Grand Prix — though, in fact, its roots came from the same move performed at parties in the early 20th century for good luck.

“This is one of the most disgusting traditions I’ve ever [heard of],” Styles said in the clip.

For the occasion, Styles wore a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt with a sparkly milkshake embellishment, tucked into a pair of light mint green trousers. However, when it came to footwear, the “Watermelon Sugar” singer’s shoes — one which served as the “shoey” cup — were pure hypebeast bait: a set of Gucci and Adidas‘ collaborative Gazelle sneakers. Styles’ round-toed set featured light brown gum soles, dark green suede uppers and Adidas’ signature three stripes in stark white.

The singer took off one of his green Adidas x Gucci trainers and poured liqued into it before chugging it down in front of screaming fans in Perth on Monday night (FEBRUARY 20). He told fans: “This is one of the most disgusting traditions I have ever witnessed." And he joked afterwards: “I will be discussing this with my therapist at length.” After putting his trainer back on, Harry told the crowd: “I feel like a different person. I feel ashamed of myself. “It feels so personal. Such an intimate moment to be shared with so many people.” *BYLINE: @grapejuixeblues/POP NATION/TMX/Mega. 20 Feb 2023 Pictured: Harry Styles downs a drink from his shoe in Australian “Shoey” tradition as he performs his Love On Tour show in Perth on February 20. *BYLINE: @grapejuixeblues/POP NATION/TMX/Mega.
